Our People…
Founded in 2014 on the back of a former business Rosier home and Landscape (Circa 2006), Ecocraft was created to provide a real alternative to standard construction methods on offer which are more focused on quick profits as opposed to considering simple yet effective components of the building fabric such as sufficient insulation, double glazing and draught sealing.
Ecocraft have been renovating and retrofitting existing homes to meet a 7 Star NatHERS energy rating since 2014, well ahead of the official commencement date for the construction of new homes due to commence 1 May 2024 (set by the Australian Building Codes Board).
